Should We Rename Planets To Be After Angels/Prophets/ And Saints Instead Of Pagan Deities? 01/29/20 (Wed) 22:15:58 cb5f64 No.12595

As the title says should we rename planets after angels/prophets/saints instead of pagan deities? In Exodus 23:13 it said “Pay attention to that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be herd from your lips.” when we named planets after pagan deities we are force to mention their names and this becomes unavoidable for Christians who want to be devout and I see this as being unnecessary as before the west pretty much globalized the world, different countries and cultures had named the planets differently from each other and I don’t see why as a Christian dominated society that we couldn’t do the same especially since we are not talking about historical records, relics, or another person’s religion or spiritual beliefs

get into a lot of conversations about planets, do you ?

find those conversations confusing because you mention the name of that big gas giant with the rings, and suddenly the guy you're talking to begins to loudly shout the praises of the deity you've mentioned, kills a chicken and starts scrying through its entrails looking for augurs ?

no ?

then it's probably alright to call planets by their commonly accepted names, seeing as the roman pantheon hasn't been actively worshipped in nearly 2 thousand years

also: do you think it's possible you've misunderstood the biblical injunction not to have the names of foreign gods on one's lips, seeing as the same bible mentions several heathen gods itself, with the expectation being that these same stories about B'aal worshippers getting slaughtered would be read aloud, and perhaps there's an inference you're missing along the lines of 'not swearing oaths' in the name of such idols ?

You wouldn't be able to stop there rather you'd then have to extend it to the names of the days and months of the year and to all the moons, constellations and asteroids as well.

>I don’t see why as a Christian dominated society that we couldn’t do the same

The names are a part of the West's pre-Christian heritage.

Pretty much what the other two said.

Since whatever deity it's named after hasn't been worshiped in over 2000 years there's there's no real harm in it as now it's just a nod to the West's heritage and culture. At the absolute worst it will make you look up the mythology and history behind the name.

It would be impossible to get everyone on board, we don't live in a Christian age anymore, besides just because someone names their kid Jesus or calls their parent Father doesn't mean you pray to them.

Using Roman names for the planets and using Greek terms in theology is a flex tbh.
